I've given up or lost interest in 6-digit reference models other than the one I own. However, as someone who loves dive watches, water sports, and the history of the former, it's impossible to not appreciate this piece.
Anyone reading this is well aware of that historically significant period between well known brands. This yielded some of the most iconic dive watches of all time. Many would argue that the Sea-Dweller won, and I would agree in many ways.
Regardless, the only true winners were the consumers who got to own, use, and enjoy these remarkable engineering feats.
All watches tied to this have become more difficult to find, at least the vintage ones. My Neo-Vintage piece of choice would be the 16600, which to me represents all the best things of this category.

Although they're still somewhat within reasonable reach for the time being, I'm not loving it enough to sell off any watches to cover most of this.
Either way it's fun to look at!
